The Italians have gone for three centre-halves and then they will go man-for-man in the middle of the park and try and carry a threat to the Croatia backline who, so far, have been very leaky.

Worst kit of Euro 2024?

Spain are playing in an all-lemon number.

Italy will be in the last 16 if they get a point or more. Croatia have to win and hope that's enough.

Away we go in Leipzig and Dusseldorf. We know Spain are through as Group B winners. Who will be joining them in the knockout stage?

The Croatia fans were making the most noise before the teams appeared and it is the same when they line up for the game - they all bellowed out their anthem and it was spine-tingling stuff.

I am at this game for Radio 5 Live and it is a tough one to call. Croatia were walloped by Spain, and they threw away a win against Albania, who had caused them all sorts of problems.

This is an aging Croatia side, as I’ve said before, but the reason I would give them a bit of hope in this game is that Spain absolutely annihilated Italy in their last game.

Italy boss Luciano Spalletti said before they played Spain that his side’s brand of football is the only thing that can save them, but their brand was turgid in that game. They are going to need one heck of an improvement to save them, if that’s the route Spalletti is going down.

It's hard to back either team, to be honest, but I am going to stick with my forecast that Croatia will flop. I don’t know why, based on their performance against Spain, but I am backing Italy.

The population of Albania is roughly three million. It sounds as if each and every one of them are in the Dusseldorf Arena. Incredible noise.

Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic says they have to "fix" the amount of goals they are conceding.

"We must remain positive, accept responsibility and correct our mistakes," said Dalic.

"In Russia [at the 2018 World Cup], we didn't concede in the group stage; in Qatar [at the 2022 World Cup], only once. Here we've already let in five. Every dangerous attack ends up in our net.

"We need to change our approach and fix it before facing Italy. We have to win - if not, we're going home."

National anthem time in Leipzig and Dusseldorf.

Ian: I'm gonna cheer for Croatia. Luka has been so brilliant for so long.

Ben: Modric playing for Croatia at four World Cups and five European Championships is unreal. An absolute legend of the game.

I have really enjoyed Albania's two games so far. I love the way they are up for the games, I love the way that they attack.

Albania boss Sylvinho on playing at Euro 2024: "There are three million Albanians in Albania and more than nine or 10 million around the world. There was a generation that never saw their team in a European Championship.

"We're all doing a really good job. We're alive, proud and ambitious. Spain are strong, but we're going to go for it in the 90 minutes. We'd be delighted to play in the last 16, but we have to produce our best performance.

"Spain are a strong team and we've got a tough game ahead. But we'll give it a go. We have brave players who are ambitious and we look forward to playing well against them."

Emmanuel: If Spain can become more clinical in front of goal they will easily win the tournament. Good in possession and creating chances.

When Luka Modric went to Real Madrid there was questions on whether he was good enough for Madrid - he's carried Croatia.

We spoke about N'Golo Kante the other night about how he's all over the pitch - Modric is the same, but with a bit more quality at the end of it.

Rio Ferdinand and Jermaine Jenas are full of praise for Croatia's Luka Modric.

Ferdinand, referred to him as a "Dynamic little genius" whilst Jenas called for team-mates to "give him the ball anytime, anywhere"

Can Modric turn it on when it matters most?

He is making his 35th appearance across both World Cups and Euros for Croatia, becoming just the seventh outfielder to do so after Cristiano Ronaldo, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Miroslav Klose, Paolo Maldini, Lothar Matthaus and Thomas Muller.

We have seen it before with young players getting injured but he (Lamine Yamal) seems to play with freedom. I was fortunate enough to be at the Spain v Croatia game in the stadium and it was like he was playing in the school playground so hopefully they look after him, and I do think we'll see him for a long time.

Luciano Spalletti is trying to encourage more of a front-footed Italian side but I do think he is a bit cautious.

I don't think he is very confident in his defence at the moment. I think he is hedging his bets and trying to be pragmatic to get out of the group.

Spain have already made sure of finishing top of Group B, so they have earned the right to make changes for this game. I still fancy them to win it though.

The only criticism of their performance against Italy is that they were not ruthless enough.

Nico Williams was absolutely incredible in that game - Giovanni di Lorenzo is a well-respected full-back in world football and he got absolutely ripped to shreds. He will still be in a spin now.

Sutton's prediction: Spain to win 2-0.
